When a dog is suffering from canine distemper, it is because he is not feeling well. It may be because he has a fever, stomachache or other symptoms of canine distemper. The best way is to take him to a pet hospital for symptomatic treatment by a doctor. Relieve your dog's pain. Canine distemper is a highly contagious and fatal infectious disease in dogs caused by the canine distemper virus. The mortality rate of the disease is very high, so owners should not try to relieve or treat the disease by themselves. They must take their dogs to the hospital. Cooperate with treatment under the guidance of the doctor.

Symptoms of canine distemper in dogs:

1. Overall performance: the affected dog has a loss of appetite or simply refuses to eat, is lethargic, and changes in body temperature are biphasic. Type, that is, the body temperature first rises to 39 to 41 degrees, lasting for 1 to 3 days, and then gradually subsides, approaching normal temperature. The body temperature rises again after a few days, and severe cases can lead to death.

2. When canine distemper infects the respiratory system, it will manifest as rhinitis and conjunctivitis. At this time, the dog's eyes and nose will have serous or mucopurulent secretions. If it causes ocular neuritis, it can lead to blindness. Viruses invade the lungs and cause interstitial pneumonia, and secondary bacterial infection can cause bronchopneumonia. The clinical manifestations are cough, dyspnea, and crepitus on auscultation (so it is easily misdiagnosed as a cold).

3. Canine distemper virus manifests as vomiting and diarrhea in the gastrointestinal tract. Affected dogs develop severe diarrhea and occasionally pass bloody stools.

4. Dogs will have neurological symptoms in the later stages of canine distemper, and the canine distemper virus can invade any part of the central nervous system. Clinically, neurological symptoms may appear simultaneously with other systemic symptoms or may appear subsequently. The main manifestations are general twitching, masticatory muscle spasm, turning in circles, and abnormal behavior. When the midbrain, cerebellum and vestibule are damaged, ataxia and abnormal posture are manifested. Spinal infection manifests as abnormal posture, abnormal spinal reflexes, paralysis, etc. There is a high probability that neurological symptoms will leave sequelae after canine distemper is cured.
